Seems some tuning can be done. stumbled across this
https://www.carscoops.com/2021/01/vw-golf-mk8-1-5-tsi-gets-189-hp-lowering-springs-and-19-inch-wheels/

interesting that those rims fit fine, and no reported scrubbing with the car lowered on a 8.5" rim 43ET

The custom wrapping (minus the worded branding) is interesting.

Almost like dazzle cammoflauge!

HMS Weasel might look good in dazzle I think  :cool:

Not sure what sort of effect that would have on road safety mind you, if you have never seen dazzle it really does work...
